Winner of the Golden Needle Award for Best Short at the Seattle International Film Festival

Winner of the Auudience Award for Best Short Film at the Asian American International Film Festival

"Kai Hasson's Five Star takes [a] very modern anxiety and spins it into a wildly entertaining horror-comedy. It begins with all the ingredients of a classic monster movie before taking its audience to some wonderfully unexpected places. By weaving the absurd pressures of the five-star economy into its supernatural thrills, Hasson transforms a familiar monster story into something fresher and surprisingly relatable." - S/W Curator , Serafima Serafimova
